How to Apply:
- First dot a small amount of the formula down the center of the face, on the forehead, nose and chin. Then go back and blend the formula into the skin all over the face, using an outward and upward sweeping motion with the fingertips.

Kiehl’s Insider Tips:
- Apply a small amount first. Then if more coverage is desired, repeat the application outlined here, using a small amount of product for each application.
- Concentrate the application on the areas of the face where coverage is needed most, for example around the nose and mouth.
- Wear our BB Cream alone, or follow with an application of foundation and/or powder, if desired.

Rated 2 out of 5 by mtvpologurl13 Could possibly be a good sunscreen
I had high hopes for this BB Cream to be my "one-stop-go-to" summer coverage product in hot Texas because of the high SPF, tint, and other skin improving benefits. I purchased the darkest "medium/deep" shade, assuming that since there wasn't a wide spectrum of colors that the formula would be blendable to slightly different shades of skin. As a darker African American female however, I found that the color was lighter than my skin tone (which I expected) but also upon application it was a struggle to get the cream color blended to my skin color. Because of that I also could not use it for any sort of buildable coverage. Lastly, the finish of the product is slightly oily and gives off a whitish undertone sheen, which probably is due to the sunscreen. Using a mattifying powder over it only controls the shine for 2-3 hours. I may continue to use up the rest of my product for the sunscreen properties, and then add a better color-matched foundation and a finishing powder on top. All in all, I gave it two stars, because for the price I was really hoping to cut down my morning routine in half.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SioConnellan Beautiful, natural skin in 1 easy step with sun protection too!
I adore this product! I've read other reviews that say the consistency is a little thick. I have not noticed that but I have been applying it over a thin layer of the Super Multi-Corrective Cream so that has not been an issue. I give the Super Multi-Corrective Cream a few minutes to soak in before applying this product, but the end result is still a little shiny. I find that a quick brush of finishing powder takes care of that quickly. What I love the most is that this product has cut my "getting ready" time in the morning in half! I used to moisturize, conceal, apply foundation, and then powder. Now I skip the concealer and foundation. And my skin is so glowing that I've started wearing less other make-up too. I just love the natural look. Typically I just go with some mascara and lipgloss and then I'm out the door. I've also had a hard time finding products with the strong SPF that my Irish skin requires. Problem solved with this product! I recommended to a friend immediately after putting it on the first time and now she is also in love. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is the resulting shine, but as I said that's not a huge deal. I would have given 4.5 stars if I could. Highly recommend!

I've been using this product for at least a year now and I still love it. It's best to apply it immediately after washing your face/showering because it is thick and hard to spread otherwise. Sometimes to make application smoother, I put on a layer of moisturizer before the BB cream.

Rated 3 out of 5 by ladylene A little too oily for oily skin but I'm sticking to it.
First off, I highly recommend getting a sample of this BB cream. It it is a fairly generous sample that lasted me about 5 days, enough to test which skin routine this works well with. Unfortunately it isn't a very good combo with the Blue Herbal Lotion and Ultra Gel Free Moisturizer (which really, those two are not a good combo to begin with so I don't know how bothered to start with this combo). There is some kind of reaction that happens with the Blue Herbal Lotion and some other products that cause it to roll up and flake off. This Bb cream wears well under the Rare Earth moisturizer. It goes on really smooth and thin (I can see why some users consider it more of a tinted moisturizer) and leaves skin feeling really soft. It is a little bit dewy and shiny for me so I put a mattifying primer powder on top to finish my look. I gave this an average overall rating because everything is good about it but is still somehow makes my skin incredibly oily. I like that it is SPF 50 yet feels light but after a few hours, I look very shiny and a lot of oil comes to the surface. When I use a blotting paper, some of the bb cream also comes off with the amount of oil that has been produced. BUT after blotting, my skin does look fresh again and doesn't appear that the BB cream has faded on my skin compared to what I find on the blotting paper. I'm choosing to stick with it because of its SPF content being so high without it being cakey or thick and for its clarifying properties (which I know all BB creams claim but of course I trust Kiehl's a bit more!). Regarding color, I live in a city that gets incredibly humid in the summer so I only use BB cream in the winter when I'm a bit lighter. I'm a Light/Medium in another brand's BB cream and Medium matched me a tad better in Kiehl's (yellow/olive undertone). I felt like it might be a bit dark at first but the Light was too light and actually it made my skin look tone more even which is darker on the forehead and chin. So in the end, it ended up blending well and not being too dark for my winter skin color, looking quite natural. I watched a few videos on YouTube to get an idea of the shades to sample since I'm between skin tones.

Rated 3 out of 5 by AMarie A little too thick for oily skin
Let me be the first to say that I am a Kiehl's addict! I love trying new products, and have been a huge fan of so many of them. I purchased this BB cream hoping that it would have the same amazing texture as the Super Fluid Sunscreen... great for oily skin, because it feels almost powdery when it is applied. Unfortunately I felt like the BB cream was just a little too oily, and I was finding myself extremely shiny in the forehead area after only a few hours. This would definitely work for someone with drier skin, but I would stay way if you have an oily T-Zone. I will happily go back to Super Fluid and look to find a concealer as opposed to a BB cream.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ingerid Do NOT buy if you are sensitive to smells.
I love this product, it works well for my combination skin and provides coverage that lasts all day - which is unique, in my personal experience. While all reviews are anecdotal in nature, I can say this with 100% certainty - unless you have some kind of olfactory dysfunction, this product smells. Strongly. Unpleasantly. Occasionally nauseatingly. The smell was sufficiently bad to make look for a substitute, but I have since returned to using it and I am putting up with the stink for the benefits it does offer me - good coverage, SPF, and moisturizing.
Please do something about the smell, I beg of you, Kiehl's.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Raindrops Great Product
This is the only BB cream that works for my sensitive skin. I barely feel this product when I put it on my face; it feels like my skin, only better. I love that it's SPF 50 and that it contains vitamin C. I only wear this on my face, no foundation needed! I do need to blot the oil from my face once or twice during the day given that I have oily skin. Thank you Kiehl's for making this wonderful product!
